Masks on a Stick

Masks On A Stick

This category sounds as if it was a confection
and should be sold in a candy store. In truth, most of them are beautiful
enough to be a confection. There are so many masks on a stick to choose from
that it is difficult to find just one that you could say is your favorite. The
mask on a stick can come in many brilliant colors and decorated with beads,
feathers and flowers. The actual mask can be made of a variety of fabrics from
paper to velvet. The stick is most always wooden.

Masks on a stick are not a new accessory and some of them date back to the
renaissance which dates back to the fourteenth or fifteenth century. The mask
on a stick was a very important part of a lady's wardrobe. The mask on a stick
had a face painted on one side that was generally a beautiful lady's face with
hair also painted around the face. The decorations could have been beads or
feathers or both. On the reverse side of the face was a small mirror. When a
lady saw a gentlemen coming toward her for conversation or other meeting she
would quickly put the mask on a stick to her face. This gave her the
opportunity to see if she was coiffed properly and her face was looking good
enough to let this gentleman see her. If she was not satisfied with the way she
looked at that moment she just kept the mask on a stick up to her face
throughout the entire conversation with the gentleman. In that way, she felt he
saw a beautiful face and would remember her as a very attractive lady. Today
the lady carries a compact to touch up her shiny face and does not worry about
carrying a cumbersome mask on a stick.
